Let's Get Married

Chapter 589: You Really Like Adair

Her soft voice seems to carry a little uncertainty, as she is unsure of his attitude. Her voice is as though a bug crawling in his ears, which makes his ear itchy.

Then, she drags Ryan to the food stall.

The owner of the stall already sees them hesitating from afar. When they come in, the owner immediately asks with a smile, “What would you like to eat?”

Eunice takes the menu from the owner’s hand, “We’ll have a look first.”

“No problem... I saw you pulling your husband into my stall just now. I’ll give you two cold dishes for free to thank you for your trust towards my stall!” The stall owner is very good at doing business that he does it without any hesitation.

It’s just that his words make Eunice’s face turn red. She glances at Adair and gets why he misunderstands their relationship. She quickly waves her hand back and forth and explains, “He, he isn’t my husband...”

Seeing her shy attitude, the stall owner’s smile becomes brighter and he replies, “You young people are just too shy to admit. Alright, I won’t ask anymore.”

He doesn’t even give time for Eunice to explain, and he goes back to the door to drum up his business.

Eunice swallows her saliva and plucks up her courage to look at the man beside her. Actually, Ryan doesn’t want to come here at all. She is really afraid that Ryan will become unhappy and leave just like that.

However, when their eyes meet, he is as calm as a millpond. It is as though he has not heard the stall owner’s words at all.

Eunice swallows again and cracks a smile, “Hahaha, the stall owner is really enthusiastic...”

After saying that, the three of them remain silent, even Adair looks at her with ‘sympathy’. She passes the menu to them, “Please…please see if there’s anything you want to eat.”

Ryan looks at Eunice’s fingers that are still trembling slightly while holding the menu. He takes the menu from her and immediately hands it to Adair, “Order.”

Adair realizes the awkward atmosphere here. He turns his big eyes around and changes the topic, “Ryan, do you eat crabs? How about greasy-back shrimps and seafood fried noodles?”

“I’m fine with anything. You just order.”

Upon hearing Ryan’s words, Eunice puts her heart at rest. She feels touched and starts stroking Adair’s head, “Just order what you want to eat, I’ll treat you!”

“Thank you, Eunice!”

“No need to thank her. You might have to wash the dishes later.” Ryan picks up a cup on the table and looks at it, as if he is disgusted that the cup is a little dirty. Then, he puts it back down.

Eunice takes the cup over and rinses it with hot water in the teapot before handing it back to Ryan. She rolls her eyes secretly, “I can still afford to treat a meal at the food stall, okay?”

Besides, she has seen the price earlier. Only crabs are slightly more expensive, the rest are still within the acceptable range.

Ryan sees her insistence, as if she wants to get the moon for Adair, so he does not continue to mock her. Instead, he is just drinking some hot water from the cup that she has rinsed earlier.

Adair orders three large crabs, a plate of greasy-back shrimps and a plate of stir-fried clams. Meanwhile, Eunice adds a small plate of garlic oysters, mussels with mashed garlic, and fried noodles with seafood for the main course.

In less than ten minutes, the steaming hot crabs are served. The stall owner puts down a few disposable gloves on the table and continues to rush around for business.

Looking at the large orange colored crabs, Eunice brings the crabs over and opens the shell first. When she realizes that the two of them are not moving, she can’t help but feel strange, “Eat it while it’s still hot. Once it’s cold, it would be difficult to remove the crab meat from the shell.”

Freshly steamed crabs have the tenderest meat, and the meat will become less firm once it is cooled.

Adair is having some trouble after wearing the gloves, “Eunice, how do I remove the shell?”

Then, Eunice realizes that the crabs that they have eaten previously are all served without shell. They have never tried eating crabs at its original state. With that, she can’t help but sigh heavily at the huge difference between the wealthy and the common.

Despite this, she still takes Adair’s crab and splits it up carefully for him. She even asks the stall owner for scissors, and takes out the meat inside the crab shell, “Okay, you can eat it like this.”

“Thank you, Eunice!” Adair says. Not forgetting the man beside him, he makes a ‘caring’ request, “Eunice, can you help Ryan too? He doesn’t seem to know how...”

Eunice grins gently, “Okay...”

There is a tall street lamp beside the food stall. The faint yellow light ray intersects with the light from the incandescent bulb of the food stall. These two lights shine upon Eunice and her fair hands are busy helping him to remove the crab meat from the shell.

She lowers her head and looks at the crab in her hand. It is not exactly something beautiful to gaze at, but at that moment, Ryan feels Eunice is indeed very attractive.

It is the most touching moment since he has known her for so long.

Eunice has not noticed the man’s gaze at all because she is putting all her attention towards the crab. It takes a while for her to separate the meat from the shell and she carefully places the meat aside, “Okay, you can eat now.”

When she lifts her head up, Ryan immediately shifts his lines of sight and grabs a pair of disposable chopsticks at the side to taste the crab meat. He puts the meat into his mouth using the chopsticks and it tastes really delicious.

Eunice stares at him as her clear eyes shine brightly with flashes of light, “How is it? Is it delicious?”

She is really looking forward to hear his reply, because she wants Ryan to approve her decision to eat at this food stall.

His blurts out two words between his thin lips, “Not bad.”

Eunice really does not expect to hear any praise from a man like Ryan, so even if it’s just ‘not bad’, it is already a compliment to her.

Only then, she picks up the crab at ease and starts eating it. She doesn’t separate the meat from the shell nor use any scissors. Instead, she pulls out a leg and puts it directly into her mouth, peeling off the meat using her teeth.

They are particular about food, but she isn’t. Hence, she eats thing the way she likes, as long as it is convenient for her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The dishes have been served successively. Every dish preserves the authentic taste of seafood. Ryan has not eaten much of the fried noodles; it must have been too oily for him. Eunice and Adair eat a lot, and their stomachs are bloated.

Eunice is afraid that Ryan will secretly pay the bill again like last time, so she privately transfers the money to the stall owner.

Seeing her thoughtful attitude, the stall owner makes fun of her in a low voice, “It seems that you have the final say at home!”

She has just forgotten about this matter, and he mentions it again at this time. Her body temperature rises up immediately as her face blushes. Eunice doesn’t know how to explain anymore, she just smiles while waving her hands back and forth and leaves.

After dinner, they never rush back to the hotel. There’s a seaside behind the food stall at a 5-minute walk, so they decide to go there and relieve themselves.

Eunice is worried that Adair will get cold. She takes off her knitted sweater and covers him, “It’s cold out here, don’t go astray.”

“Okay. I’ll go to the front to have a look!”

Looking at the small figure leaping towards the front, Eunice watches him closely as she is afraid that he’ll go missing.

Ryan catches a glimpse of her smiling expression and says at the tip of his tongue, “It seems you really like him.”

Eunice can’t hear him properly, she turns around and look at him, “What?”
